The Dic- of It



I thought this might end badly
But really what a mess!

And when this might end sadly
Is anybody's guess
An authoritarian
Can never quite say yes
Being a contrarian

So if he has to go
I suspect he might say no

Being the dic- of it
Within the word "dictator"
The politics of fear
Playing any tricks to win

Though I am sick of it
In the thick of it I know
Seeing it happen here
How it could happen again

Many may interfere
May we fight them anyway

The outcome not quite clear
But when you read this later
Somehow I pray by then
He goes God knows I hope so
Here from the outside in

Shaking off this nightmare may
We all wake up someday

I think more people are seeing through the vitriolic bull shit that is catering to their basest desires rather than leading us to a better place. People seem to be so easily fooled by charlatans and authoritarians, as if they had no backbone without them.

A very insightful poem into what is happening. Fortunately I think the tide is turning for the better.

I didn't think there would be enough stupid people to get him elected n the 1st place, and I sure hope there are enough of those who voted for him in 2016 are a little wiser today.

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
